Really!
is the same as Chen Xunqi expected - hearing Xu Cun say that he wanted to invest in "Interstellar Blunt Tire", Shao Yifu agreed immediately, and there was no objection to Xu Cun's condition that Chen Xunqi should serve as the director and producer.
After hanging up Shao Yifu's words, Xu Cun sat on the sofa and was silent for a long time - Xu Cun knew in his heart that he had invested 20 or 30 million Hong Kong dollars to help Chen Xunqi fulfill his dream of filming "Interstellar Blunt Fetus", but with Chen Xunqi's character who wants to try everything, there is a chance that he still can't resist the temptation of being his boss.
So what is the purpose of investing these two or three million Hong Kong dollars?
"Maybe it's just for peace of mind." After a long time, Xu Cun thought like this-At the beginning of the filming of "ET", the American G actors and the American G group actors made trouble for Xu Cun. Whenever there is a conflict, Chen Xunqi takes the lead in defending Xu Cun. When the beautiful young man teased He Chaoqiong with words, it was Chen Xunqi who took the lead in beating the beautiful young man to a half-crippled, so Chen Xunqi almost went to the American g prison. These...... It's all human affection.
……
Entering February, it is the end of the lunar calendar.
After a few months of operation, Xu Cun's 500 million Hong Kong dollars (after getting the deposit for the sale of the federal and international buildings, Xu Cun invested another 300 million Hong Kong dollars.) has become a stock of more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars.
During the Chinese New Year, when the stock market was not open, Xu Cun gave Yuan Tianfan a red envelope of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the rest of the team also wrapped red envelopes ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 yuan, and then sent them to Hawaii for a vacation -- this is to prevent them from leaking the news.
Although the filming of "Sword and Horse" is coming to an end, it has not yet been completed. In addition, Nortel is now in the middle of the winter holidays. Therefore, Nortel's teachers and students did not return to the mainland.
Xu Cun asked Cui Baozhu to buy a large number of New Year's goods and send them to Xujiaban's station, where Nortel's teachers and students celebrated the New Year this year.
The filming of "Zombie Family" has only been carried out for a short time, and according to Lin Zhengying's character of striving for excellence, it is impossible for "Zombie Family" to be released before May next year.
Lucky!
Zhong Zhiwen and Yuan Kui's "Male and Female Thieves" have been filmed - otherwise, this year's DreamWorks would be too disappointing.
This year, DreamWorks has only released four films: Zeng Zhiwei's "Thief", Xu Cun's "ET", Yu Yunkang's "Mountain Dog", and Yu Rentai's "Savior". Even if Zhong Zhiwen and Yuan Kui's "Male and Female Thieves" are added, there are still two short of at least seven movies that Xu Cun promised Lei Juekun last year.
In this regard, Xu Cun was powerless except to say sorry to Lei Juekun - originally, Xu Cun thought that "Dao Ma Dan" and "Zombie Family" could be filmed before the year, but what Xu Cun never expected was that he was slow, and Lin Zhengying was even slower! Fortunately, it was only a verbal promise at the beginning, otherwise Lei Juekun might have sued Xu Cun for breach of contract.
If it's just a small quantity, the quality of DreamWorks' movies this year is not up to par.
The box office of "Thieves" in Xiangjiang is only more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the reputation is average. Fortunately, the box office of "Thieves" in Taiwan and Nanyang is okay. So that DreamWorks can make millions of Hong Kong dollars.
"Mountain Dog" and "Savior" also had a little more than two million at the box office in Xiangjiang City. The reputation of the two films among film critics is not bad, but the audience does not recognize them very much, and then they are not even qualified to sell to Nanyang, and the scholars and Long Xiang of Taiwan let them be released in the face of Xu Cun, but their box office is mediocre. In the end, the two movies "Mountain Dog" and "Savior" were added together to make DreamWorks earn more than one million Hong Kong dollars.
For a small film company, the profit of more than one million Hong Kong dollars is very good! But for a big studio like DreamWorks, "Mountain Dogs" and "Savior" can only be regarded as movies that hit the streets.
Objectively speaking, if it weren't for the support of "ET", this year's DreamWorks would have been in decline.
Therefore, "Male and Female Thieves" is very crucial.
Based on this, DreamWorks has attached great importance to "Male and Female Thieves" since Xu Cun - DreamWorks decided to advertise "Male and Female Thieves" and arranged for "Male and Female Thieves" to be screened in Golden Princess Theaters.
DreamWorks' plan is good, but the plan is far from keeping up with the rapid changes - DreamWorks' performance this year is so ordinary that DreamWorks' partner Golden Princess Cinemas didn't make much money from DreamWorks this year, and then the director appeared in the theater when arranging the release of "Male and Female Thieves".
After the establishment of Xinyicheng, two movies were made - "Funny Times" and "Happy Fairy Nest".
After the release of "Funny Times", it swept up the box office of more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the fifth highest-grossing film in Hong Kong this year after "ET", "Junior Brother Goes Out", "Tragic War" and "Killer Trench".
In this regard, Lei Juekun was naturally very happy!
So, Lei Juekun arranged for "Happy Fairy Nest" to be released in the Chinese New Year - he wanted to make "Happy Fairy Nest" achieve more brilliant results.
In this way, "The Hero" naturally collided with "Happy Fairy Nest".
This year, DreamWorks' movie "ET" made the Golden Princess Cinemas profitable, and the other three movies averaged the Golden Princess Cinemas almost for nothing.
Although the box office of "Funny Times" is far less terrible than "ET", Lei Juekun, who owns half of the shares of Xinyicheng, makes no less money on "Funny Times" than on "ET". If you include the overseas box office share, Lei Juekun makes at least twice as much money on "Funny Times" as he makes on "ET".
Lei Juekun, who tasted the sweetness, actually had his heart set on "Happy Fairy Nest".
However, Lei Juekun also knows that the sequel to the international **** "Royal Sister" "Male and Female Thieves" is extraordinary.
After thinking about it, Lei Juekun made a huge stupid trick - he divided the Golden Princess Cinema into two, twelve for "Male and Female Thieves", and twelve for "Happy Fairy Nest".
After learning of Lei Juekun's decision, Xu Cun didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly he called Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai respectively - borrowing the theater from them.
If someone else borrowed the theater chain from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest during the Chinese New Year, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai would definitely ignore that person, but Xu Cun is different - as long as they still want the overseas distribution rights of DreamWorks films, they can't offend Xu Cun.
In addition, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai are willing to see a gap between Xu Cun and Lei Juekun.
In addition, the Golden Princess Cinema Line canceled the bottom system and changed to the sharing system, which had a huge impact on Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and led to Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai's hatred for Lei Juekun.
Therefore, although it was a Chinese New Year file, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai still borrowed eight theaters to Xu Cun respectively.
After borrowing the theater, Xu Cun asked Shi Nansheng to advertise - the wealthy Xu Cun even spent 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars to build momentum for "Male and Female Thieves".
What's even more odious is that Xu Cun actually let "Male and Female Thieves" and "Happy Fairy Nest" be released on the same day - anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Cun wants to use "Male and Female Thieves" to snipe "Happy Fairy Nest".
Knowing that Xu Cun made "Male and Female Thieves" and "Happy Fairy Nest" release on the same day, Lei Juekun guessed Xu Cun's intentions.
In this regard, Lei Juekun scolded Xu Cun for being stingy and domineering on the one hand, and on the other hand, he made a big promotion for "Happy Fairy Nest" - Lei Juekun also wanted to see if "Happy Fairy Nest" could withstand the sniping of "Male and Female Thieves", and then decided whether to continue to cooperate with Xu Cun or part ways?
